Irish Coast Guard Helicopter Visit

After our 6^th Class Graduation on Friday, June 16th, the children of Ardrahan National School got a wonderful surprise when they were asked to line up near the pitch to await a surprise. We were very privileged to have the Irish Coast Guard visit the school in one of their search and rescue helicopters. The helicopter landed on the pitch and the children were given treated to an indepth talk by the crew on their lives as members of the Irish Coast Guard search and rescue team. As the photos show, it was a very exciting morning for everyone.

Our Class Wins First Place in Art Competition!

Our 3rd Class has won First Place in the Calf & Cuckoo Art Competition ! Their artwork, created as part of the Burrenbeo Trust’s place-based learning programme, was showcased during the Winterage Weekend Cattle Drive at Irish Natural Stone in the Burren. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ knowledge of the Burren landscape and their creative expression of what makes our place special. This is a fantastic achievement and the children were delighted to hear the news! We’ll receive a class prize and the students’ artwork back in the spring, along with a school visit and field trip later in the year.

Science Week as Gaeilge

Third Class were invited by Ms. Burke to the Fifth and Sixth Class classroom to ask questions as Gaeilge about the wonderful creations made by the students. We asked questions such as “Cé mhéad seomra atá i do theach? Cén seomra is fearr leat? An bhfuil aon scáthán/seomra spraoi/áiléar i do theach? Inis dom faoi do theach.” Tá na daltaí i Rang a Cúig agus Rang a Sé iontach ag labhairt faoina gcuid tithe. Maith sibh agus go raibh míle maith agaibh as an gcuireadh .

Science Fair during Science Week 2025

Third Class had a wonderful science fair during Science Week! All classes came to visit and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The children created scientific questions and prepared their experiments. Each group displayed the materials needed and explained the procedure to visitors so that they could recreate the experiments at home.
